Bruce Coville’s William Shakespeare’s series retells some of Shakespeare’s best-known plays in a format aimed at younger readers. The series started in 1994 with The Tempest and went on to cover A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1996), Romeo and Juliet (1999), Twelfth Night (2003), and The Winter’s Tale (2007). Each book adapts a different play, so the five titles work as standalone reads.
Since every entry is based on a separate Shakespeare play, there is no ongoing plot connecting them. Readers can pick up any volume that interests them, though the publication order listed above provides a natural path through the collection.
